The Golden Globes want Tina Fey & Amy Poehler again!

The Golden Globes want Tina Fey & Amy Poehler again!

And now for something completely different. Remember how earlier this year, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler hosted The Golden Globesand they managed to turn what could have been a relentless, exhausting circle-jerk into one of the funniest things on television this year? Well, they just got invited back to host again, and MY BODY IS READY. Deadline reports …

Twenty million viewers can’t be wrong. Following the warm critical reception and big ratings for Tina Fey and Amy Poehler‘s first hosting turn at the Golden Globes earlier this year, the comedy stars have been approached for a second go as emcees of the awards show. Unlike Ricky Gervais’ original deal, which had an option for a second turn as Globes host, I hear Fey and Poehler originally agreed to host this year’s ceremony as a one-time thing with no obligation to come back. But, given their success, it’s no surprise that NBC and Golden Globes producer Dick Clark Prods are asking them to return. I hear there are no active conversations between the network and the funny ladies who have received an informal invitation versus a formal offer as NBC and DCP are looking to gauge their interest.

Oh please, say yes say yes say yes! You made the Golden Globes watchable! You took everyone down a peg, but you actually made them like it! You kept the audience at home entertained without straight-up pandering to them! I’m begging you, come back to us, Tinamy! Yeah, I merged your names together. That’s how close the two of you are. #TeamTinamy
